be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v terrify_v either_o by_o his_o bond_n or_o death_n itself_o that_o be_v it_o not_o for_o their_o sake_n to_o who_o his_o life_n may_v be_v more_o useful_a he_o shall_v

that_o whether_o i_o come_v and_o see_v you_o or_o else_o be_v absent_a i_o may_v hear_v of_o your_o affair_n that_o you_o stand_v fast_o in_o one_o spirit_n with_o one_o mind_n strive_v together_o

apostle_n here_o propound_v for_o a_o church_n to_o retain_v the_o true_a faith_n that_o be_v to_o continue_v a_o true_a church_n 1._o the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v firmness_n of_o mind_n in_o every_o man_n private_a belief_n of_o truth_n for_o see_v that_o every_o particular_a church_n be_v make_v up_o of_o particular_a person_n so_o far_o as_o particular_a member_n fail_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n so_o far_o be_v that_o church_n they_o be_v member_n of_o maim_v and_o mutilate_v in_o its_o part_n and_o the_o whole_a in_o tendency_n to_o dissolution_n now_o see_v the_o firmness_n of_o belief_n depend_v upon_o clear_a and_o evident_a proof_n i_o may_v here_o offer_v a_o demonstration_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o excellency_n of_o christianity_n but_o be_v this_o be_v neither_o so_o needful_a nor_o yet_o so_o seasonable_a to_o the_o occasion_n of_o our_o meeting_n i_o shall_v rather_o choose_v to_o address_v myself_o to_o what_o the_o occasion_n now_o require_v which_o be_v to_o show_v the_o truth_n and_o excellence_n of_o christianity_n as_o it_o be_v profess_v in_o our_o own_o church_n in_o opposition_n to_o that_o of_o rome_n which_o i_o shall_v do_v by_o compare_v they_o and_o we_o together_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o worship_n and_o manner_n 1._o and_o first_o of_o all_o for_o matter_n of_o faith_n we_o firm_o believe_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o every_o thing_n therein_o contain_v to_o be_v the_o infallible_a word_n of_o god_n we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n do_v contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n according_a as_o st._n john_n assure_v we_o joh._n 20.31_o these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v life_n through_o his_o name_n which_o we_o can_v not_o have_v if_o every_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v not_o write_v be_v not_o contain_v in_o this_o very_a gospel_n of_o st._n john_n nay_o further_o yet_o we_o believe_v and_o receive_v all_o creed_n that_o be_v ever_o receive_v in_o the_o catholic_n church_n these_o creed_n be_v take_v into_o our_o liturgy_n they_o be_v repeat_v in_o our_o church_n we_o signify_v our_o assent_n to_o they_o by_o stand_v up_o when_o they_o be_v repeat_v and_o be_v we_o still_o to_o be_v judge_v heretic_n and_o deficient_a in_o the_o catholic_n faith_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o roman_a church_n deny_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o complete_a rule_n of_o faith_n they_o build_v their_o faith_n upon_o tradition_n a_o thing_n uncertain_a they_o rely_v upon_o council_n which_o may_v err_v nay_o upon_o such_o as_o have_v gross_o err_v they_o vary_v as_o well_o from_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o many_o case_n as_o from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n itself_o and_o last_o of_o all_o they_o pretend_v a_o power_n of_o make_v new_a article_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v not_o make_v by_o our_o bless_a lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n which_o be_v so_o let_v reason_n judge_v whether_o they_o or_o we_o be_v likely_a to_o err_v in_o point_n of_o faith_n 2._o for_o matter_n of_o worship_n in_o the_o second_o place_n their_o public_a prayer_n be_v make_v and_o use_v in_o a_o tongue_n unknown_a unto_o the_o people_n we_o in_o a_o tongue_n which_o we_o all_o understand_v and_o here_o let_v st._n paul_n decide_v the_o controversy_n that_o be_v between_o we_o i_o cor._n 14_o 15_o 16_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o will_v pray_v with_o understand_v also_o i_o will_v sing_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o will_v sing_v with_o understand_v also_o else_o when_o thou_o shall_v bless_v with_o the_o spirit_n how_o shall_v he_o that_o occupi_v the_o room_n of_o the_o unlearned_a say_n amen_o at_o thy_o give_a thanks_o see_v he_o understand_v not_o what_o thou_o say_v for_o thou_o very_o give_v thanks_o well_o but_o the_o other_o be_v not_o edify_v from_o whence_o it_o appear_v what_o edification_n may_v be_v expect_v from_o their_o prayer_n that_o be_v to_o say_v none_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n further_o add_v i_o thank_v god_n i_o speak_v with_o tongue_n more_o than_o you_o all_o yet_o in_o the_o church_n i_o have_v rather_o speak_v five_o word_n with_o my_o understanding_n that_o by_o my_o voice_n i_o may_v teach_v other_o also_o than_o ten_o thousand_o word_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n but_o to_o proceed_v as_o we_o make_v our_o prayer_n in_o a_o know_a tongue_n so_o in_o they_o we_o invoke_v the_o true_a god_n and_o he_o only_o we_o use_v no_o other_o mediator_n no_o other_o patron_n but_o only_a christ_n who_o god_n have_v appoint_v so_o to_o be_v for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n 1_o tim._n 2.5_o but_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v their_o address_n to_o saint_n and_o angel_n as_o well_o for_o patronage_n and_o protection_n as_o for_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o they_o and_o some_o of_o those_o the_o virgin_n mary_n do_v they_o invoke_v in_o as_o magnificent_a and_o high_a a_o stile_n as_o they_o invoke_v god_n himself_o we_o pay_v no_o worship_n to_o any_o image_n see_v that_o god_n have_v express_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o make_v to_o thyself_o any_o grave_a image_n nor_o the_o likeness_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n above_o or_o in_o the_o earth_n beneath_o or_o in_o the_o water_n under_o the_o earth_n thou_o shall_v not_o bow_v down_o to_o they_o nor_o worship_v they_o but_o they_o bow_v down_o and_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o other_o and_o though_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o honour_n they_o give_v unto_o the_o image_n pass_v through_o it_o to_o the_o person_n who_o it_o represent_v yet_o still_o they_o acknowledge_v they_o worship_v the_o image_n that_o this_o at_o least_o be_v a_o transient_a object_n of_o their_o worship_n and_o then_o again_o we_o give_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n unto_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o the_o priest_n in_o both_o kind_n so_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o christ_n himself_o so_o it_o be_v give_v all_o along_o for_o many_o age_n but_o other_o in_o perfect_a contradiction_n to_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n deny_v the_o cup_n unto_o the_o laity_n we_o believe_v that_o after_o consecration_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n set_v apart_o and_o consecrate_a for_o the_o sacrament_n do_v still_o retain_v the_o natural_a substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n himself_o believe_v when_o he_o style_v that_o bread_n of_o
